Change Background (Photo)

Swap a photo's background for a solid color, gradient, or scene — no design app needed.

What is Change Background (Photo)?

Change Background goes one step further than removing a photo's background — it detects the subject and swaps in a new background: a solid color, a gradient, or a preset scene.

It's aimed at people who want a photo to look intentionally designed — a cover image, a thumbnail, a profile-style shot — without opening a separate design app.

How it works

  1. 1

    Import a photo

    Any image with a clear main subject.

  2. 2

    Pick a new background

    Solid color, gradient, or a preset scene.

  3. 3

    Check the edges

    Spot-check the subject cutout against the new background.

  4. 4

    Export

    Save the composited image.

Who it's for

Cover & thumbnail images

Give a plain photo a designed-looking background without a design app.

Consistent branded covers

Use the same background style across a set of cover images.

FAQ

Can I use my own background image, or only presets?
Solid colors and gradients are fully customizable; scenes come from a preset library.
